SqlServer Login failed for user

Question

I created a pretty straightforward JDBC login test program. And after a variety of issues, I'm almost there. Nearly, but I just can't seem to move beyond this issue:

SQLServerException: Login failed for user xxxxx

I made a basic database called PersonInfo, then I made user user1 and password1 (SQL authentication). Despite my best efforts, I was unable to establish a connection to the database. I have the most recent Microsoft JDBC driver and I'm running SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7.

My code is:

import java.sql.*;

public class hell {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    try {
        Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
Connection conn=  DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=PersonInfo;user=Sohaib;password=0000;");


System.out.println("connected");
       }

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

Here's the Exception:

Exception: Unable to get connect
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed for user 'Sohaib'.
and all other supporting errors.
